Officers made two arrests in Chesterfield town centre yesterday – bringing a pair into custody for theft and immigration offences.

On Sunday, October 16, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit came across a pair of potential offenders at a Chesterfield town centre shop – who were suspected of a theft from another branch the day before.

A DRPU spokesperson said: “The occupants of this vehicle were believed responsible for theft from a till in Stratford yesterday, and decided to chance an outing to the same high street establishment in Derbyshire.
